Specification of Letters Patent. n Patented e111119,14, 19`2L Application filed November 25, 1919. SeraI No.k 340,527.

To all whom 'it' may concern.'

Be it known that l, Maxim JAcxsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Emmett, in the county ot' Gem and State of ldaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dirigible Headlights for Automobiles, of which the 'following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in dirigible headlights for automobiles, and it has for its objects among others to provide simple and eiiieient means whereby the headlight may be readily operated by the steering rod.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereoii will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing which, with the numerals of" reference marked thereon, form a part of this Speciiication, and in which Figure l is a perspective view of my improvenient.

Fig. 2 is a detail view of the operative connections on a larger scale. Y

Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical view of the lamp and the member connected with the pivot thereof.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the different views.

Referring to the drawings,

l designates the steering rod olf 'anr` ner, and extended through a side wall there i of is a shait l carrying within the housing a bevel gea-r 5 meshing with the bevel'kgear 3. The shaft i has a bearing adjacent extended lugs 7 7, each having a vertical slot 8 closed at their upper and lower. ends,

and in these slots work freely the lateral pins or the like 9, which extend from opposite sides of the operating bar 10.

in the support 6" the housing, as seen` in lligs. l and 2, and at its other end carries the upwardly ll are the lamps carriediby the orksslQ end is connected by means of the arm 17- with the/operating' rod l0, as seen in Figs.

l and 3. The other end of the rod l() is likewise connected to thek bottom pivot of the reflector of they other lamp, as seen in Fig. 1, sothatas the rod 10 is actuated the two reflectors will be simultaneously turned on ltheir pivots. y

is is a Socket for a. buibio, Sui-table Wiring w being designed tok be provided, as usual.

ln operation, as the steering post is turned to steer the automobile, the rod l() is actuated and through'tlie connections above described the relectors are turned upon their pivots c nunison by means of the arms 17.

lflhile primarily designed, and as herein shown, my'improvement isv applied to an automobilal would call attention to the fact that .my present improvement is ap plicable to other uses, such as other forms of vehicles, and other bodies without Vdeparting from the spirit of the invention or sacriicin'g any ot its advantages. What is claimed as new isi- In a dirigible headlight, a casing, la ren Hector -pivotally mounted with .relation thereto, an operating arm connected with roneoiz the pivots of said reilectoi, an operating barv connected to said farm, a steering rod, a shaft operatively connected therewith, anda loose connection between said shaft androd, said loose connection embodying' slotted lugs from said shaft and lateral members on 'the bar loosely engaged in the slots of the lugs. j
